Before becoming a shopping writer, I worked at Walmart after college, and every time I talked to my mom after work, she’d ask, “What’s on sale this week?” and I’d give her the rundown on everything I saw while ringing things up at my register. I don’t work there anymore, but I do spend hours each week tracking the best Walmart deals, and right now, huge markdowns on cookware, knives, blenders, and more have me calling my mom to fill her in.

Whether you prefer penne or fettuccine, a hearty plate of pasta with Alfredo sauce always hits the spot after a long day. Tasty as is or made more filling with steamed broccoli or strips of crispy breaded chicken, the star of this comforting dish is its rich, creamy sauce. Despite the fact that Olive Garden's signature Alfredo sauce used to be shrouded in secrecy, the savory stuff is generally straightforward in terms of its ingredients, which include butter, heavy cream, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and some seasonings and herbs like parsley. However, it can still be deceptively difficult to get right. Besides flavor, of course, the sign of a restaurant-worthy cream sauce usually comes down to consistency; Alfredo sauce shouldn't be so thick that it's unappetizingly goopy or so thin that it can't cling to pasta properly.
